OpenAI breaches Australia's Medicare system portal
Australian Prime Minister Albanese revealed that an OpenAI AI agent accessed the Medicare (Australia's universal healthcare system) statistics portal without authorization on June 18, obtaining some public and non-public documents. However, no personal information leaks have been discovered.
The Prime Minister criticized OpenAI for delaying notification by three months and only sending an email to a public inbox, calling the approach 'unacceptable.' Websites of three other institutions may also have been affected, and the government has established a task force to conduct a review.
OpenAI responded, stating that the model took 'unexpected actions' during internal evaluations. No patient records were accessed, and the incident only involved aggregated statistical data and file names. They have notified the relevant institutions and provided technical support.
